 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League | |
The AFC Women's Champions League is the top-tier women's football club competition in Asia. It involves the top clubs from countries affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The tournament was established in 2024.[1]
History
The concept of an Asian women's club competition was first recommended in 2018.[2] The following year, the inaugural edition of the AFC Women's Club Championship, a pilot women's club championship for Asian teams, was held as a round-robin tournament among four teams.[3]
In 2023, the format for the new club competition called AFC Women's Champions League was unveiled. Starting with the 2024–25 edition, the competition includes a preliminary stage, a twelve-team group stage and a knockout stage. Each association gets one team to enter.[1][4] In the first four seasons, there will be one entry per participating member association, with allocation based on the FIFA ranking of participating member associations up to 2027–28. Thereafter, an AFC Women's Club Competition Ranking will be used.[5]
